LLM review checkpoint for TPI-008

Current assessment

• recovered is the correct classification.
• The original bottleneck for this loop was remote reflection failure, and that bottleneck is now resolved on the remote review surfaces.
• PR TPI-007 eval-first monkey model external handoff gate #6 is again a trustworthy surface for the latest TPI-007 absent-handoff state.

Evidence checked

• PR TPI-007 eval-first monkey model external handoff gate #6 now contains the absent-handoff update files and the TPI-007 pause record in runs/TPI-004/run_notes.md.
• PR TPI-008 eval-first monkey model git auth recovery gate #7 records a concrete working push route: HTTPS + GitHub CLI credential helper.
• golf-soris-tpi-lab also shows a remote commit finalizing the TPI-008 remote reflection result.

Consequence

• Git auth / push recovery is no longer the lead blocker.
• The lead blocker shifts back to the external provider handoff itself: exact attach route, endpoint tuple, and verified landing in /workspace/parameter-golf.

Required next step

Open TPI-009 as a trusted-remote handoff resume gate.
That loop should:

1. treat remote review surfaces as trustworthy again
2. avoid reopening Git auth unless a fresh concrete regression appears
3. accept only concrete provider-supplied handoff data
4. resume the unchanged TPI-004 execution contract immediately after landing verification

Control note

This PR mentions a prior --force-with-lease step. No further history-rewriting action should be taken in later loops without explicit user confirmation.
